Curious, why did a wealthy grocer decide to take more money out of the mouths of price-sensitive humans who live off of last-day sale items? Where is the social responsibility? I wouldn't be surprised if there is a trend happening here with more consumers shifting to last-day sale items, and the only way to make more money is to reduce the discounts. Now, if they were to take that 20% and give it to a charity for homelessness, I might buy the approach. Otherwise, I don't. My comments to CTV News are in this article.

There is a growing backlash against the value of a commercial “brand” versus the value (and diminishing size) of the actual products we’re buying (wrapped in that brand). This article about #Carrefour speaks of global retailers steeling themselves to take a stand against the global food brands in the face of escalating costs: https://lnkd.in/gh7z5vYW This Brand backlash is already affecting our nonprofits. Donors (of all shapes and sizes) are increasingly scrutinising and challenging the real value of the big nonprofit sector brands, their relevance to the causes and connections to communities they purport to support (versus the value they are adding to growth of their own brand). The big nonprofit sector brands, more than ever will be called on to authentically demonstrate their cause-connection and community impact, or donors will continue to look past them - because these things are much easier for smaller and more agile grassroots organisations to claim and communicate. #nonprofitfundraising #brand #nonprofitleadership #charity #smallcharities

What makes a successful brand? According to JWI's Charli Wright, “The answer is simple: one that can stand the test of time.” Charli goes on to cite the following example as a brand that has successfully withstood the test of time. Cadbury was founded in 1824 based on the mission to bring joy and generosity to people’s lives. Over the last 200 years, it has evolved its brand strategy and maintained cultural relevance while never losing sight of its core purpose. This remains true even with their latest campaign: The Worldwide Hide. Consumers can virtually hide an egg anywhere in the world for someone they love. This ‘gamified’ act of kindness is relevant with today’s consumers, yet still retains Cadbury's essence around bringing joy and generosity.

The attached media release advises that Woolworths supermarkets will not be stocking the RSL range of ANZAC biscuits this year.The range will continue to be avaliable from Coles, Aldi and independent stores. The RSL advises that Woolworths will continue supporting the RSL in other ways. While Woolies has every right to determine its range, after all the negative attention the company attracted over its decision not to sell Australia Day merchandise, I would have thought they may try and avoid any Potential for further controversy.(especially with the "Emotion" being generated during the early stages of the Senate Inquiry into food inflation("price gouging"). Or is this not an issue that will create angst ? #AnzacDay #Woolworths #RSL #RangeDecision #Emotions #potentailfornegativity #SenateInquiry

Great chat with Ronan Berry on Midlands 103 #saturdaylive program this morning. We talked about supermarket tactics like vouchers and loyalty schemes, how they get us to feel a little bit giddy, spending more money than we needed to and still feeling good about it! I shared a story about collecting for the Tullamore Lions Club annual Christmas food appeal. I was outside Dunnes, second Saturday in December and folks were being very generous with their donations and we were expressing our gratitude. Several times we heard comments like "....ah sure Dunnes Stores paid for it!!" Aldi are the only big-5 retail chain in Ireland without a loyalty scheme or voucher program, and their market share has been stagnant for several years. It's not the only factor of course, but if you're dependent on an EDLP (every day low price) strategy then your shoppers need to REALLY feel it in this highly evolved and competitive market. 💡 If you thought this was useful make sure to connect and follow #supermarketmalachy ✅ I help my clients achieve profitable growth through #strategy and #negotiationskills #training Dunnes Stores Aldi Ireland Lidl Ireland SuperValu Tesco Ireland International Private Label Consult (IPLC) The Uspire Group #fmcg #privatelabel #strategyconsulting

German discount supermarket chain PENNY Deutschland ran a week-long experiment where nine food items - including wiener sausages, cheese and yoghurt - were priced based on their ‘true cost’ to people’s health and the environment. Prices rose for Wiener sausages (from €3.19 to €6.01), mozzarella (74% to €1.55) and fruit yoghurt (31% to €1.56). The awareness campaign is in partnership with academics from the Nuremberg Institute of Technology and Universität Greifswald, triggered by the belief that supermarket prices do not reflect true environmental or health costs. The experiment was limited to a small range of products due to a lack of scientific groundwork but has initiated discussions around pricing groceries fairly. Excess proceeds made from sales are being donated to charity Zukunftsbauer which supports struggling family-run farms in Alpine regions. https://lnkd.in/e4FQ3H5s #TrueClimateCost #EnvironmentallyFriendlyPricing #HiddenCostsCalculation #SustainableSupermarket #FutureFarmerSupport
